 "works great!" 2010-09-08
By Uwe Paul Schroeder
I bought this little video camera a couple of weeks ago. Purpose was to have something ultra portable which still records decent quality video. I have to say I'm quite pleasantly surprised, the video and audio quality is great! The battery will last 120min recording, but only if you don't keep replaying videos that you just shot. If you keep this in mind battery life shouldn't be an issue. I didn't test the software that was included, using my mac worked just as fine. The only drawback I could find was the zoom function which is very limited. But for the intended purpose it still works ok for me. Don't expect to get great shots of some object far away.


 "Ultra Flip Limited Life" 2010-09-08
By Paula Usrey
I loved the Ultra Flip when I first got it. It was easy to use. I could also upload videos with ease. However, it quit working after about six months. I tried to reset the camcorder as instructed, but it still doesn't work. I also tried recharging it. From what I have read, others have had similar problems. I don't know if I will buy another flip camera or not. However, I may have just purchased a lemon and might have better luck next time. The price was certainly good.


 "Needs image stabilization" 2010-09-06
By Shopperholic (Copiague, NY United States)
I am not sure why these cameras are so popular. I'm not tossing it in the Goodwill box, but I would not buy another.

Biggest con, no stabilization. I found the video to be waaaaay too jumpy.

But even when I'm not trying to use it on a boat, I love the fact that you can use regular AA batteries when the battery goes dead. This pro, however, is somewhat canceled out by lack of removable storage. If I could swap out batteries and memory cards I wouldn't be tied to my laptop so much. I would like the ability to record in non-hd to maximize storage but if that's an option I can't find it.

And while the large lens looks great, the fact that it protrudes so much makes it a fingerprint magnet.

The included Flip-share software is pretty cool, I wish it had the capability to view and share video from other devices.


 "Battery does not charge" 2010-09-06
By Pickypicky (Massachusetts, USA)
I would like to weigh in on the battery charging capability. I bought a Flip Video HD camera last December (so I have owned it about 8 months), and I have never managed to successfully charge the original battery pack through the USB connector attached to a computer, as it is supposed to do. For a while I resorted to using AA batteries all the time. Then recently I purchased the flip video power adapter. After hooking up the video camera to the power adapter and leaving it to charge overnight, the rechargeable battery pack still did not charge. I'm still trying to figure out which part of the equipment is faulty - whether it's the battery or the camera. This has been a significant source of frustration and has caused me to avoid using the camera. I think it is too late for me to return it (though I think I will look at the manufacturer's warranty now), but I would like to advise anyone else who has this charging issue straight out of the box to return the product for a refund.


 "Filming Review" 2010-09-06
By Willy
This camera is great for filming a show if you want to put it on the internet or your family if you want to remember a fun day or even a road trip. It is one of the easiest cameras I have been exposed to. You push a button to turn it on and you point it at the thing you want to film and press another button to film. That's it! And transferring it to your computer is super easy too. Just make sure to transfer the video into another folder before renaming it. Tip! If you need a cheap, easy-to-use camera, get this one.
